Paranormal Pioneers and Other Strange Phenomena
Frederic Myers (1843-1901) Frederic Myers was a professor of classics at Cambridge University in England. One overriding interest characterized this man was a passionate curiosity about the meaning of human life. But instead of poring over theological writings and philosophical speculation, as many of his contemporaries did, he felt that if human life did have a purpose, then it could be discovered in only one way: through the study of human experiences.

The Blood Stained Rain
We begin as most stories do with a little back story of our main character, Zane Pandova is a 22 year old male, he goes to med school and does quite well there, however Zane is a loner, you never see him with anyone else just alone if you see him at all. Maybe it's this need of his to be alone that forced these events to descend upon him, maybe it's because of who he really is but hey that's spoilers. Now that we covered who exactly we are following, how about we start this off.

Soul of a demon
Baharsh approached the compound grimly, letting his leathery wings play with the air currents as he prepared himself for what was coming. He hated having to deal with The General. Strategically he knew the human was crucial to winning the war but the man made him sick. Baharsh chuckled to himself as he recognized the irony of that thought. It wasn't the man's cruelty that bothered him, or even his willingness to turn on his own kind, rather the apparent lack of loyalty to his soldiers. Demon code demanded absolute loyalty to your brothers; sure there were times of uprising or separation of sides, and Baharsh had punished his soldiers, even beaten them, but he would never kill them for pleasure the way The General did. He seemed to gut 10 soldiers a day just because it made him feel better. Baharsh could understand doing that to captives, but your own soldiers, despicable. Suddenly Baharsh's thoughts were interrupted as he was blinded by a spotlight. He couldn't hold off the inevitable any longer, The Generals men had spotted him and would surely be fetching the man. With a noise somewhere between a growl and a sigh, Baharsh began his descent.

The Haunting History of The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
When construction was completed on West Virginia’s Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, formerly known as Weston State Hospital, it was considered a marvel in the mental health care industry. The building was constructed with the finest stonework, having brought in masonry specialists from Germany and Italy. The hallways were ornate and organized, the rooms comfortable for the 250 patients the hospital would hold. Architect Richard Snowden Andrews created this hospital in order to bring a level of luxury and design to those who were stigmatized at the time due to their mental health.

Watch Out
It was June 17, 2015, and there I was walking down the streets of San Francisco. It was a nice sunny day that causes me to slowly start dripping sweat down my back. I moved to town last weekend and I came out to the city in search of new job as a chef. I went to every restaurant that was near but none of them appealed to me. It was starting to get dark outside but I decided to check out one last restaurant before returning home. When I walked in, I couldn’t help but notice the most handsome and amusing person I’ve ever seen before. I was so distracted watching him serve people their meals that I forgot I was looking for a job and not a future husband. Caught in the moment, I thought to myself, “I have to get to know him, I have to know everything about him”. He looked charming but yet shy, like he was lost but trying to find himself. I knew that I needed to get a job at this restaurant.

Top 5 Most Haunted Places In America
1) The Myrtles Plantation: St. Francisville, Louisiana Built in 1796 by General David Bradford, this beautiful Antebellum plantation has a rich and violent history. The most popular (and ghostly) legend that I have heard about this location is the legend of Chloe. Chloe was a slave girl who ended up accidentally killing her master's children and wife. How does one ''accidentally'' kill several people? Oleander. Oleander is one of the most toxic plants in the world. The story is that Chloe desperately wanted to impress her master, so she decided to bake a cake. She laced the cake with the deadly oleander plant. Her plan was to just make them sick and then nurse them back to health, but things didn't quite go according to plan. All of the children and the master's wife ended up dying from oleander poisoning. When the master found out what had happened (it is rumored that other slaves who knew of her plan actually told him the truth), he hung Chloe on the property. Other than the spirit of Chloe, there are plenty of other spirits who are rumored to haunt The Myrtles Plantation. The Woodruff family owned the plantation during the early 1800's. Two of the Woodruff's three children ended up succumbing to Yellow Fever and passed away in the house. Their ghosts are said to wander the property and it is said that they're playful spirits. Other spirits include a murdered voodoo priestess and the spirit of Mr. Winter, a former owner who was shot on the front porch and ended up passing away on the seventeenth step of the inside stairwell. The plantation is also rumored to be built over Native American burial ground (and as we all know, building anything over sacred ground is a huge no-no). The Myrtles Plantation is currently a bed and breakfast (that's right, you can actually sleep here) and is also available for tours.

The Game
Annabelle could feel her heart pounding in her chest as her breath rasped out. A sharp stab of pain in her ribs made her randomly wonder why they called it a stitch in the side. It felt more like a hot fire poker. She snapped her thoughts back into disciplined order. There were much more pressing issues to deal with right now. The abomination charging after her was one of those more pressing issues. This one use to be a cat. She vaguely remembered a time when another one had been a dog and another had been a rabbit. Whatever kept doing this knew she loved animals and wanted to add insult to injury.
